SWC Chrome 38mm

Has anyone used one of the non T* SWCs or for that matter, any non T*

lenses in general? I found a clean chrome SWC for a good price but

all of my current lenses are CFs.

I doubt that you, or any picture editor, will

see any difference between them, on a pair

of transparencies under a 10x loupe on a

light box!

If the SWC is clean, the lens unmarked and

the price 'good', then run a film through it

to put your mind at rest.

Then buy it and enjoy using it!

Most of my lenses have non-T* coatings and they perform very well and

with good contrast. I had only ONE instance with my 150 that gave me a

contrast problem, but the lighting condition was such that it would

probably give the T* lenses similar results.

I also have a Super Wide (not SWC) with a knob to advance the film.

This is close to 45 years old and definitely does not have a T*

coating on its elements. Fantastic lens . . . fantastic results . . .

contrast IS NOT A PROBLEM!!

FYI: I have two 80mm F lenses and these have the T* coating and one

80mm C lens (non-T*.) I can't tell the differences between shots taken

with any of my 80mm lenses.

Ansel Adams used the non-T* lenses extensively. Took pretty fair

snapshots with them! ;>) Seems he used his hat as a sun-shade

whenever he thought it necessary!
